Abstract: The invention concerns a method for calefaction densification of a porous structure (mixed liquid-gas process) (5) which consists in immersing the porous structure in a liquid precursor, for example a hydrocarbon, and in heating the whole assembly to deposit the product for decomposition of said liquid precursor, for example of carbon, in the pores of said porous structure. The invention is characterised in that it consists in reducing the flow rate of liquid precursor penetrating into the porous structure, for example by means of a polytetrafluoroethylene filter (52) enclosing the structure, so as to reduce the vaporization phenomena of the liquid precursor around the porous structure to be densified.

Abstract: Heat insulated pipeline has an expanded metal cover wrapped in plastic film forced outwards by expanded foam between helical coils around the outside. An inner pipe (1) is enclosed by a foamed plastic heat insulating layer (2) and an expanded metal cover (3) with an external plastic film wrapper (4). The film wrapper is thermoformable and a plastic strand (5) is helically wound around the wrapper. The film wrapper bulges outwards between the windings due to the pressure of the expanding foam and creates a helical wave form. An outer plastic sheath (6) covering the entire construction follows the wave form. An Independent claim is made for a process for production of a heat insulated pipeline in which: (a) an expanded metal cover is formed into a cover around an inner metal pipe; (b) a plastic film wrapper is placed around the expanded metal cover and welded or bonded along the free edges; (c) foamable plastic is introduced into the gap between the inner pipe and the plastic film; (d) a continuous strand is helically wound onto the plastic film and the film is arched outwards between the helical strands by the expanding foam; (e) a thermoplastic plastic sheath is extruded onto the outside. In a variation of this process the film is arched outwards by expanding foam before the strand is helically wound onto the film. The strand pulls the film back down to the surface of the expanded metal cover thus forming a helical wave form prior to extruding on a plastic sheath.

Abstract: System and method for optimizing the efficiency of base-to-vehicle communication. The method includes beginning a call initiation step for establishing a wireless communication between a base station and a remotely located vehicle. Conditions are sensed at which a prospective wireless communication would be conducted. The sensed conditions are analyzed to determine whether predetermined criteria are met for initiation of the prospective wireless communication. It is then chosen to initiate a wireless communication when the predetermined criteria for initiation of the prospective wireless communication is satisfied based on the analysis of sensed conditions. It may be required that from the sensed conditions it be determined that the remotely located vehicle is traveling below a predetermined threshold speed. Alternatively, the determining condition may be transmission quality for the prospective wireless communication. Based on these and other suitable criteria, variable amounts of electronic data may be sent from the remotely located vehicle to the base station. In another instance, it may be required that from the sensed conditions it be determined that the calculated cost of the prospective wireless communication meets predetermined parameters.

be used for learning. In the event that the operating
signals are learning operating signals which can be used for
learning, the learning unit 22 learns a correction norm
which is the norm for correcting input signals, based on the
learning operating signals. On the other hand, at a
correcting unit 21, post-correction signals, wherein the
input signals are corrected based on the correction norm
obtained by learning, are output as output signals. The
